happy Friday. and Pearl Harbor Day. though that seems less like something to be happy about as much as recognized. never again. etc.but here's some happy. our Possibly 4th Street session with Michelle Shocked (appearing at Highline Ballroom this coming Sunday) has popped at the Voice. both print and blog.
Michelle's performance is definitely the closest thing thus far to my original conception of the series and I'm greatly appreciative that she decided to partake.
a friend asked, So, did people recognize her? and that's a valid question, unfortunately unanswerable in print due to the word count restraints.
but yes, folks did recognize Michelle. to the tune of "honey, I don't know why, but Michelle Shocked's playing at Astor Place. yes, on the street. so I'm going to be a little late."
quite nice.
we've got an offer out now to Bob Mould (he's in town this weekend, also at the Highline for his Blowoff performance on Saturday night, but right now we're the ones getting blown off. hope he changes his mind).
but I'm happy to announce that Possibly 4th Street participants Jim Lauderdale and Peter Case were nominated for Grammys today (ain't it funny how Grammys don't matter in the least until you know someone nominated?). Peter's nomination came in the Best Traditional Folk category for Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John and Jim was nominated for Best Bluegrass album (no surprise there) for Bluegrass Diaries.
